Five-loop four-point integrand of N=8 supergravity as a generalized double copy

Abstract: We use the recently developed generalized double-copy procedure to construct an integrand for the five-loop four-point amplitude of N = 8 supergravity. This construction starts from a naive double copy of the previously computed corresponding amplitude of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. This is then systematically modified by adding contact terms generated in the context of the method of maximal unitarity cuts. For the simpler generalized cuts, whose corresponding contact terms tend to be the most complicated, … Show more

“…This procedure hinges upon finding a representation of the gauge theory amplitudes built from trivalent graphs with color and kinematic numerator factors fulfilling Jacobi-like identities. It was originally observed for pure gauge theories (with and without supersymmetry) which double copied to pure (super)-gravities and has proven to be an efficient tool also beyond tree-level (where proofs of the double-copy exist [4,5]) to generate amplitude integrands at high-loop orders in the maximal supersymmetric case [6,7]. By now the doublecopy has been observed in a large set of gravitational theories involving massless fields, including pure gravity [8], pure and matter coupled supergravities [8][9][10] as well as Einstein-Yang-Mills theories [11][12][13][14].…”

“…See [6] for a recent example at five loops, based on developments in [7]. It is therefore natural to ask if a similar "double copy" structure also underlies, thereby simplifying, the calculation of observables beyond the S-matrix.…”

“…By definition, a spherically symmetric particle is one in which m 2 ðSÞ is a function of the Lorentz invariants 6 constructed from S IJ . The function m 2 ðSÞ is not predicted by the effective point particle theory, but is determined by matching to the full UV theory of the extended object.…”

“…Several calculations have been done with the use of the colour-kinematics duality (CKD), going from supersymmetric theories, up to five-loop level [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], to non-supersymmetric ones, up to two-loop level [21][22][23]. Similarly, new relations at oneloop level have been found with a clever use of the BCJ relations with string theory [24][25][26][27][28] and unitarity based methods [29,30].…”
